FCT Minister Wike promises to end illegal parking in Abuja soon. During a media meeting on Friday, he talked about city transportation. The problem will stop when the three new bus terminals finish construction. These stations will create official vehicle loading areas, and rules will become easier to enforce once these locations open.
Drivers must use designated spots for pickup and dropoff in the future. This change aims to make traffic flow better throughout the capital city. The administration wants cleaner streets with fewer random car parks blocking roads. People can expect improvements as terminal projects near completion. Wike feels confident about solving this long-standing issue.

A woman claims the Ikwuano council leader hit her and ruined her farm, but he says this never happened. She appeared in a video crying on the ground, saying Anthony Nwaubani and his guards attacked her and destroyed her cassava plants at Ariam Usaka.
